BFF women’s wing chief Kiron held, sent to jail

Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) women's wing chief Mahfuza Akter Kiron was arrested from Dhanmondi on Saturday for using defamatory words against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. On March 12, former official of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Abu Hasan Chowdhury Prince filed a lawsuit against Kiron with the complaint that the BFF official used defamatory words against the Prime Minister. The complainant, in the lawsuit, pleaded for the arrest of Kiron. Later, Judge M Sharifuzzaman Ansari of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's Court issued an arrest warrant against Kiron. Our court correspondent reported that Mahfuza Akter Kiron was produced in a Dhaka Court on the day. Her lawyer Advocate Liakat Hossain submitted a bail petition to the court, stating that she didn't make any comment on the prime minister. Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Sufian Mohammad Noman rejected Kiron's bail petition and sent her to jail.
